controller wise behringer so some okay midi controllers that wont break the bank.
there is an endless rotary version and a fader alternative

check out http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan0...ontrollers.htm

not used them myself but know a few peeps who have them and have had no problems.

Would definitely invest in a decent sound card and some monitors if you catch the bug and want to continue producing. Then get yourself some acoustic treatment in the room your in.

hope this helps.
